how long it really takes to set up or turn a room for an amazing event, how
long it takes to plate up a buffet or sit down dinner, what it takes to serve a
group of guests, space requirements, décor elements and install and so
much more. Within a couple years, she was promoted to assistant to the head of
the catering and sales departments in the Country Club. In this position she
learned sales for the location, developed relationships with high quality
vendors in Denver and throughout Colorado, staffing needs, scheduling, time
lines, organizing and how to really listen to a client. As well as assisting in

Will I lose
control of my own event or wedding if you are planning it for me?
No, of course not. A terrible event or wedding planner is one who takes
control away from you. That is not the point of event or wedding planning. The
point is being an extension of who you are and of your creativity. Your sense,
style, creativity, passion should be completely apparent throughout the entire
event or wedding. You are the focus of your event or wedding and it's totally
your day. You make all the final decisions along the way. We're just here to
help you fully achieve your potential and fully realize your dreams in ways
that you never even realized were possible! You will never, ever lose control.
It is YOUR day. Period.
My
event/wedding location already provides a Catering Manager and onsite
coordinator, why do I need another one?
Although most reception/event centers and some ceremony locations provide
their own wedding coordinator, they usually only handle all the details and
responsibilities that are related to their specific location. They are not
responsible for assisting you or planning your entire event or wedding such as
going dress shopping with you, attending all of your vendor meetings and
assisting you with vendor negotiations and assisting you with time line for
your sensational special occasion. We help you where you need it and when
you need it so you can enjoy the planning process and the party.

Will you work the
vendors I've already found or people I really want to work with?
Of course. We will work with your fabulous vendors and make sure that
they're the right fit for you. It is not necessary for you to only work with
the vendors and people we've worked with in the past, know and trust; however,
we do have amazing vendors at our fingertips that we can easily match to your
needs, when needed.
Do you take
credit cards and can we have a payment plan?
Yes. We happily accept all major credit cards. Each month your payment is
billed and you receive an invoice. That's how we do most of our business
actually. What also makes us different from others is that we can setup
automatic invoices and payments so that you never have to worry about when
payments are due or if you remembered to pay it, and you don't have to think
about paying us before the wedding. We can include payments to vendors in this
same manner if you would like.
|
Colorado weddings with A Memory Lane Event |
Do you take
more than one event or wedding per day?
We only have one event or wedding per day or week per professional Planner
and Coordinator, depending upon the type of event. Your planner and coordinator
will only focus on your needs for your event or wedding per day. No others.
Your special occasion is the only one getting our attention on your event day.
We want our clients to have our undivided attention so that every need is met.
Who is not
going to benefit from our help planning your event or wedding?
We absolutely delight in helping our clients with their personal and
corporate events and love assisting our couples and their families that we work
with to create their dream events and wedding day, but we have to be a match
for one another if we're going to create the simply sensational day that you've
been dreaming of.
So, if you're a chronic doubting Thomas, don't understand the value of
having an event or wedding planner and coordinator, or have trouble seeing that
you absolutely deserve the most fabulous event or wedding possible, this is not
going to be a good fit.
It's OK if you think that you're in this category, but you need to do some
soul-searching and thinking before we get started. Otherwise, we won't be able
to help you the way you need it. You absolutely must know that you are
deserving of the gifts that are there for you before you can receive them.

What is the
Five Step Planning Process?
We make wedding planning a pleasure with our Five-Step Wedding Planning
Process. This system has been proven on over 1000 of our clients, so we know it
will work to create your dream wedding too! We plan and design each and every
wedding according to this system to take the stress off of you. And the most
astounding part of it all is that you don't have to do this alone.
Get Real. We know it's hard but necessary.
Getting real with your wedding budget and your guest list is a must. These
are two vital aspects to properly plan your wedding. You simply cannot skip
this and avoid the stress. We'll discuss how much money is there for your
wedding...seriously. Regardless if you have $20,000 or $200,000 there NEVER
seems to be enough, so we customize your budget planner for YOUR wedding. You
will learn ways to get more "bang for your budget," no matter what
the dollar figure is. In addition we will provide you with a guest list
template to get a down to earth guest count. You absolutely cannot have a
working budget without a realistic guest list. Do this right once and you're
done!
Get Inspired.
|
Colorado weddings by A Memory Lane Event |
We will start out designing your wedding with what we call your
"Inspiration session." This will help you to figure out what you
want, not just what others have told you. Then together we'll discover your own
aspirations and turn these into your wedding theme. We'll be there to help and
guide you along the way. We will detail out all your wedding inspirations, not
just think about them. Then, your dreams will become reality right in front of
your eyes as we translate your inspirations into your dream theme! We will get
things started off on the right foot with our whole wedding plan and your
organizational process. This will allow you to understand what's truly involved
in planning your dream wedding and get focused on your priorities. We then put
it on paper with color pictures. We will focus on one fabulous wedding element
at a time to get things done efficiently and effortlessly.
Get Help.
You will never have to worry about selecting the best venue and the best and
brightest vendors for your wedding. We'll help match you to them from the very
start. We will introduce you to vendors that not only match your budget, but
also complement your personality and style. We'll only take you to vendors who
we know, like and trust...and have YOUR best interest at heart!
Get Fabulous.
Feeling and looking fabulous means selecting your wedding attire and
accessories that make you feel exquisite and look incredible on YOU. We'll also
help you with your hair and makeup to round out your overall beauty. It's not
about the label or what's "hot" it's about YOU and YOUR body. We'll
help you tap into and trust your intuition and not get talked into things with
pushy salespeople or even loving family and friends. We'll talk about hair,
makeup and fashion and introduce you to the most extraordinary professionals in
the industry!
|
Colorado wedding with A Memory Lane Event |
Get it Together.
After as a team we've hired all your fantastic vendors, planned and designed
your beautiful wedding, we will pull it all together to implement your wedding
dreams. We will detail and distribute your wedding day itinerary to every
person on your wedding planning team and a shorter one for your wedding party.
Your vendors will know ahead of time what is expected of them, which of them
and what they are providing for your dream wedding day and when we expect them
to arrive. You will be able to envision how this will all come together
beautifully, and then trust that we will orchestrate and choreograph every
single detail from your wedding day desires. We will manage and direct while
you relax and enjoy being the brilliant diamond of your dream event or wedding
day!
We can't wait to meet you. And congratulations on your big event or engagement!
